"Community based graduate education encourages future teacher-scholars to view themselves in relation to the world around them by engaging a space beyond the classroom" (102)

"At the graduate level, academic acheivement typically follows the capacity to write one's way into a "hyperreality," a conceptual or transcendent "where" whose authority in some measure derives from the perception of being cut loose from place and time. Canonical modeling implicitly proposes that both student and evaluating faculty member are located not 'in place' but within a virtual reality populated by generalizations" (95)

"We must find ways to get graduate student bodies out into those localized publics--not for the purpose of revealing the other to a disciplined gaze, but to allow an estimation of the limits of the scholarly perspective through the approximation of a perspective marked by difference" (99)
